Dear Sir
at length arrived Mr Macgovan’s parcel for which the poor engraver & I are much obliged to you.
I am vastly pleased with yr booksellers. printing these little old tracts; I assure you I will puff them off.
Doctor Webster is most obliging. if he will be so good as to draw up a concise account of his excellent plan. It will be a great obligation.1 I have the acts of parlement but do not understand the affair well enough to do it. I beg my best compliments though unknown to him.
I am Dr Sir in much haste yrs
Novr 12th 1773.
